Quarterback Justin Fields’ future with the Chicago Bears has been nothing less than a swirl of speculations this season. Now, as the postseason is over, he has once again made headlines for his social media activity in the same context. Fields recently unfollowed the Bears on Instagram, a team that brought him to his NFL career in 2021. Consequently, his step has sparked intense speculation about his intentions and potential departure from the franchise.

The move comes at a time when the Bears are considering their options for the upcoming NFL Draft 2024. Moreover, with the No. 9 pick reserved for the Bears in 2024, rumors are circulating that they may select quarterback Caleb Williams. This uncertainty regarding the team’s quarterback situation has led to heightened tension between Fields and the franchise.

However, what has caught the attention of the NFL community is Justin Fields’ decision to follow three offensive weapons of another NFL team on Instagram. Bijan Robinson, Kyle Pitts, and Drake London have become his new social media interests, causing varied interpretations. One of the obvious ones is Fields’ transition to Atlanta with fans eagerly anticipating any further developments. Meanwhile, the Bears have yet to provide any official clarification on Fields’ social media activity or his future with the team. Also, Fields has a continued presence on Twitter, where he still follows the Bears.

With various mixed messages and rumors, the situation remains fluid and uncertain. As the speculation continues to mount, one thing is clear: Justin Fields’ social media activity has only added fuel to the fire. Thus, a flurry of reactions and suggestions followed with Atlanta being called a suitable new home for the Bears’ #1 quarterback.

Why Atlanta Falcons Present a Suitable home for Justin Fields?

As the 2024 NFL Draft approaches, the Atlanta Falcons emerge as a better destination for quarterback Justin Fields. With new hopes around Raheem Morris at the helm, the team offers both opportunity and potential for success.

The Falcons are in dire need of a franchise quarterback to lead their offense. Despite possessing a roster with playoff potential, their inconsistent quarterback play caused their elimination first amongst others in Week 18. Justin Fields, with his skill set and potential, could be the answer to their long-standing quarterback woes. Some other options could be Washington Commanders and New England Patriots, who deal with similar crises on their ends.

Despite their struggles at quarterback, the Falcons have remained competitive and narrowly missed out on the playoffs. Justin Fields would step into an offense equipped with weapons like wide receiver Calvin Ridley and tight end Kyle Pitts, providing him with the talent and support needed to thrive in the NFL. The Falcons’ offensive scheme could also fit well with Fields’ strengths, maximizing his impact on the field.

“Sophomore QB Getting Like $10,000,000 is Crazy”: Tyreek Hill Reckons There Needs to be a Cap on NIL Deals https://thesportsrush.com/nfl-news-sophomore-qb-getting-like-10000000-is-crazy-tyreek-hill-reckons-there-needs-to-be-a-cap-on-nil-deals/ Sun, 30 Jul 2023 13:10:13 +0000 https://thesportsrush.com/?p=530355 Tyreek Hill, the standout wide receiver and the highest-paid at his position has raised eyebrows with his recent thoughts on Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals in college football.

Tyreek Hill, the standout wide receiver and the highest-paid at his position has raised eyebrows with his recent thoughts on Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals in college football. As a player who has experienced success both on and off the field, Hill shared his perspective on how NIL deals are making young footballers super-rich.

Hill expressed his disbelief at the staggering sums being offered to high school quarterbacks, stating that handing “$10,000,000 to a high school quarterback” is not the right approach. He believes that placing a cap on these deals is essential to ensure that young athletes remain focused on their passion for the game, rather than being swayed by monetary temptations.

Tyreek Hill and Bijan Robinson Weigh In on Massive NIL Deals

Tyreek Hill recently engaged in a thought-provoking conversation with Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson about NIL Deals in college football on his youtube podcast. While both athletes support the idea of student-athletes benefiting from their name, image, and likeness, they voice concerns about the potential ramifications of unchecked deals.

Hill asserts “Sophomore QB getting like $10,000,000 is crazy”, advocating for a cap on NIL Deals. He believes that unlimited deals might sway young athletes from focusing on their love for the game. He said,

“I think it should also be a cap, you know what I’m saying? Because you got [expletive] sophomore quarterbacks in high school getting like $10 million now, which is crazy, you feel me? So, I feel like every athlete should be capped out, almost like the G League, you feel me? That’s how it should be, man.”

On the other hand, Bijan concurred with Hill and ensured that the NIL deals can be a blessing in disguise and needs to be structured performance-based. He said, “I just try to do NIL the right way, like I didn’t want no donor fund or none of that, like, I was like, ‘I’ll earn these deals or earn what I can earn off of my performance and what I do on the field, and then I mean, everything took care of itself on that aspect.”

Both athletes acknowledge that NIL opportunities can be a blessing for college football players but highlight the importance of structuring deals in a way that aligns with athletes’ performances on the field. Striking a balance between financial opportunities and maintaining a strong focus on the love for the game remains crucial for the future of college football and the well-being of student-athletes.

Top NIL Deals: Young Athletes Raking in Big Money

As the Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) era takes center stage in high school and college sports, young athletes are cashing in on lucrative deals that have the potential to set them up for life. According to First Point USA, the following athletes are among the top beneficiaries:

  1. Arch Manning – University of Texas: The grandson of NFL legends, valued at $3.7 million, is set to follow a successful football career with the University of Texas.
  2. Caleb Williams – University of Southern California: With NIL valuing at $3.2 million, this quarterback is already a Maxwell award and Heisman Trophy winner, poised for a bright future in college football.
  3. Shedeur Sanders – University of Colorado: A successful college football player with an estimated value of $1.6 million, has earned deals with Mercedes Benz and Gatorade.
  4. Marvin Harrison Jr. – Ohio State University: Son of a Super Bowl champion, valued at $1.6 million, is excelling as a wide receiver for the Buckeyes.
  5. Drake Maye – University of North Carolina: With a valuation of $1.3 million, this UNC quarterback is already making a name for himself with several endorsement deals.

While it’s encouraging to see young athletes become self-sufficient through NIL deals, Tyreek Hill’s concerns about the potential pitfalls of granting excessive money to youngsters cannot be ignored. The influx of millions in endorsement deals raises questions about how these young talents will handle their newfound wealth and responsibilities.

Recently, Tyreek Hill, popularly known as ‘The Cheetah’, sat down with Bijan Robinson, on a recent episode of ‘It Needed To Be Said’ podcastdiscussing the stripping away of Heisman Trophy from Reggie Bush, an incident which transpired 13 years ago. The intriguing conversation contained the details of the investigation against Bush who had to pay a hefty price for not following NCAA rule.

Reggie won the Heisman Trophy back in 2005, beating finalists Vince Young. However, he decided to return it in 2010, due to the incessant pressure from a number of entities. Nevertheless, Reggie went on to get inducted into the New Orleans Saints’ Hall of Fame in 2019, after his retirement in 2017, leaving an indelible mark on the league.

 

Tyreek Hill & Bijan Robinson want Reggie Bush to have his Heisman back

An NCAA investigation in 2010 had suggested that Bush’s family had received improper benefits/gifts from marketing agents while he was still at USC. It resulted in severe penalties for the school and the forfeiture of Bush’s Heisman trophy. While Reggie still went on to inspire innumerable youngsters, including Bijan Robinson with his gameplay, the fact that he still doesn’t have the trophy in his cabinet, hurts a lot of his admirers.

Tyreek and Bijan recently called the whole ‘Heisman Forfeiting’ incident unfortunate while talking about Reggie on the podcast, around 13 years after the whole fiasco took place. “You can’t take away what he did on the field,” Robinson said, suggesting that Bush should absolutely get his trophy back. “Everyone knows what he did. I don’t think you should take away the Heisman, especially for what he did that season. He took over college football.” 

Bijan also mentioned that his grandfather, who reffed a few of Reggie’s games, used to think of him as one of the best players ever.  Showing his agreement to Bijan’s take about giving Reggie his Heisman back, Hill added, “It wasn’t like he(Reggie) was talking any illegal substance. He just different bro.” 

Reggie Bush had a wonderful football career

As it turns out, Heisman wasn’t the only honor taken away from Reggie. His Walter Camp and the Doak Walker Awards were also vacated. However, if we keep the off-field stuff aside, Reggie had an absolute dream run in his college days, before having a decade long NFL career.

Bush became the 17th in NCAA history to exceed 2,000 all-purpose yards in multiple seasons. His exceptional talent also earned him a spot on the cover of NCAA Football 2007. He then went on to win his only Super Bowl ring during the 2009 season while featuring for the Saints in the NFL.

Given the undeniable impact Reggie had on college football, several fans think that he should get his Heisman honors back. Sadly, Reggie’s recent efforts to regain the trophy haven’t yielded positive results.

The NFL Draft 2023 has kicked off in Kansas City, and the top picks have already been taken off the board. Although this year’s draft is viewed as a quarterback-heavy class, some great weapons to aid the passers have joined this group. Bijan Robinson, a Texas product, is one of them. As expected, the youngster has found himself in the top 10.

The 21-year-old running back has been selected by the Atlanta Falcons as the 8th overall pick. It appears Desmond Ridder has a new weapon to strengthen his offensive unit, although Tyler Allgeier still remains on the roster as a favorite. Head coach Arthur Smith had no apprehensions about selecting this Longhorn and instantly utilized their 8th overall pick on Robinson.

How did Bijan Robinson perform in the combined day drills? What are his strengths?

The Tucson native happened to be a five-star recruit for Texas State after showcasing a top-notch performance in high school. In three years with the Longhorns, Robinson gained 3,407 yards and scored 33 touchdowns on 539 carries. Similarly, he also completed 60 passes out of 77 attempts, scoring eight touchdowns for 803 yards. His jacked physique and smooth mobility make him a promising athlete to control the running back spot, and no doubt the Cardinals are going to benefit from their choice.

Robinson didn’t disappoint his followers on the combine day drills and proved why he was a five-star recruit. The youngster completed the 40-yard dash in just 4.46 seconds. Moreover, he recorded a vertical jump of 37″, and a broad jump of 124″.

All Robinson wants is to become a game changer and create an impact. “I could be a game changer for the team. Not just a running back. A game changer. A guy that can do it all on the football field,” the RB said in a recent interview, per Yahoo Sports. It will be interesting to see whether he lives up to the expectations.

Texas Running Back Bijan Robinson happens to be a promising prospect for the upcoming 2023 NFL draft. He is sure to go off the boards on the opening night itself. Ever since he registered for the event, fans have been closely following him on social media. One of the most prominent questions about him has been regarding his relationship status.

The 21-year-old is an exceptional talent out of college who possesses great abilities to change the pace of the game. During his tenure at Salpointe Catholic High School, the youngster broke several records and set new ones, which will remain for years to come.

Is Bijan Robinson dating anyone?

While Robinson’s athletic career remains a hot topic of discussion in the NFL world, it is essential to look at his relationship apart from football. Apparently, the star has disappointed his fans because he has refrained from making any public comments regarding his love life.

Being a young athlete with ambitious plans, Robinson has not reflected on his personal life in the public domain. Per multiple reports, he was spotted with a girl named Samara Turrentinee; however, the duo hasn’t acknowledged the internet theories.

The Tuscan native was a five-star recruit for Texas after flourishing greatly in his high school career. He recorded 7,036 career rushing yards and 114 touchdowns at high school. In his senior year, he single-handedly dominated the season with 38 touchdowns.

Eventually, the star was selected to play in the 2020 All-American Bowl. His overall performance made him a hot entity in the college world. He blazed across the field and showcased his incredible ability in the freshman season.

Robinson finds his role model in LeBron James

Unlike other football players who try to follow NFL legends, Robinson went a different route, fanboying the basketball superstar LeBron James. It was a dream come true for him when he finally got to meet James last year.

“LeBron is a role model to me,” Robinson said in an interview, per on3.com. “He’s a guy that I look up to a lot through his whole career. Just because he’s been so consistent on the court and off the court,” he added.

In fact, the four-time NBA champ surprised Robinson with his spontaneous reaction. King James addressed himself as a big fan of Robinson, which skyrocketed his confidence for bigger goals.

“It was just really cool to hear his voice and hear somebody from such a high level from himself. And for me as a player that wants to be at a level like him one day,” the RB said about his interaction. It will be interesting to see where he lands, as many teams might be interested in adding this weapon to their offensive unit.
